Leon Steelgrave is the author of the Europa City series – hardboiled science fiction that traces its genealogy back to the pulp stories of the 1930s. This dark and satirical world serves as a warning of the dangers of ecological disaster and totalitarian regimes.
Leon’s early work includes articles and reviews for music fanzines Take To The Sky and Glasperlenspiel.

But speaking from personal recent experience - I had a 4 year break from writing - it was not so much a lack of ideas (for ideas are always around, even if you're not using/developing them) but losing the desire, and off the back of that, the discipline to sit down and write. I made the conscious decision to set a period of time aside every day to produce some writing, the what of it wasn't as important as the actual act of putting down words. Once I got used to writing again I found myself falling back into a natural pattern. The long and short of it being don't get hung up about producing great work or your best work, simply produce work. Afterwards you can revise or delete as required.(less)

In The Pipeline

A quick progress update — I’m pleased to announce that I have today completed the first draft of Europa City One-shot: Smack Upside The Head! This is the long overdue second instalment of what I hope will become a semi-regular series. If you view a novel as being comparable to an album, these short standalone tales (15K to 20K words) are intended as one-off singles. Creatively, these short, sharp Read more of this blog post »
